We're selling Carl Martin now. For years I've appreciated the
quality, both engineering and performance, of these fine pedals and the used
ones I've had were among the hottest sellers in stock. They started with the
Hot Drive'n Boost in 1993 and today they build 28
effects in all. They are built with top quality components, are quiet relative
to other manufacturers, and all feature true bypass. All of their Pro Series,
most of what I'll be carrying, is handmade in Demark. The more modestly priced
Vintage Series, are made in the Far East but retain the tone and built quality
of all Carl Martins. On my initial order I didn't go for any
distortion/overdrive pedals but I'll be getting some in the future. If I don't
have it in stock, let me know what you need and I can have it within 2 days.
Currently in stock:

·Carl Martin Powerjack. Universal power supply for guitar effects
employs switch-mode technology, allowing it to be used from 100V-240V. The Powerjack delivers 1670mA of stabilized 9V DC power at any
voltage. Includes 5-pedal daisy chain as well as 6 additional cables to fit
other size adapter pins. Click here for full specs
and samples. List price is $52; your price is $34.99.

·Carl Martin Octa-Switch, (layout/detail).
You can tailor it to your needs but basically you can plug in up to 8 effects
and have any combination engaged with the touch of one button. Each channel has
8 DIP switches which correspond to 8 of your effects. Simple example: You have
1-Distortion, 2-Metal Drive, 3-Fuzz, 4-Chorus, 5-Wah, 6-Pitch Shifter,
7-Reverb, and 8-Tremolo, plugged into channels 1 thru 8. For one of your tones
you want only Distortion, Chorus and Reverb. Select a bank, such as footswitch
1, and turn "on" the DIP switches for 1, 4, and 7. With this setting,
any time you hit footswitch for bank one, it will automatically engage these
three effects and all others will be out of the loop. You can set up the remaining
7 banks in similar fashion. This is a dream come true for old-schoolers who prefer stomp boxes to LCD's and menus of a muti-effecter and instead of doing the old "tap
dance" trying to turn on/off a bunch of pedals during a 1/4 note rest, you
can do it instantaneously by pushing just one button. Click here for full specs
and samples. List price is $539; your price is $317.

·Carl Martin Delayla. The Delayla
Incorporates some of the same features used in vintage tape delay units and to
achieve this, Carl Martin incorporated a second delay tap (similar to using 2
heads simultaneously on a tape delay). TAP footswitch turns second tap on or
off. TAP knob controls the mix of main delay vs. second tap delay. Warm, smooth
sound reminiscent of the vintage tape units used in the '50s and '60s. Perhaps
the best rock 'n' roll slapback echo, and one that
digital processors are unable to emulate. Built-in AC power supply. Click here for full specs
and samples. List price is $572.

·Carl Martin Delayla XL. Same sonic quality as the original DeLayla and adds a second delay head for the ultimate in
vintage slapback echo. The response of the second
head can be fine-tuned, is controllable by footswitch, and can be blended with
the first head. Another great feature is the tap tempo button, which lets you
set the repeats in time with the beat on the fly. Built-in AC power supply.

·Carl Martin DelaylaTremO'vibe. Analog
"two in one" effect pedal consisting of a tremolo and a real vibrato,
both with independent sets of speed and depth controls. Many of you know the
distinction: Tremolo works like a change in volume - Vibrato works as a change
in tone (pitch modulation), which on this unit is carefully designed to imitate
the sound of a real tube vibrato. Two switches to select "on" or true
bypass, while the other switches between Tremolo and Vibrato. Each effect has it's own depth and speed controls and different colored
LED's. In addition to guitar, the TremOvibe is an
excellent choice for Bass, Keyboard, or any other electronic instrument, that
requires the sonic clarity, maximum dynamic range, incredible headroom, and
noise-free performance. Click here for full specs and
samples. List price is $457; your price is $269.

·Carl Martin
Surf Trem. The Surf Trem consists of the tremolo circuit from the TremO'vibe. Heavy die cast box and retro styling house a
killer sounding trem pedal. An excellent pedal to add a distinct character to
your tone, whether a subtle texture with the depth turned back and the speed
up, or a radical tone shape with your guitar volume falling in and out in time
with the beat. True, these are great for surf music, but they can do much more.
Click here for
full specs and samples. List price is $154; your price is $98.

·Carl Martin
Classic Chorus. The Classic Chorus is two pedals in one - the classic
analog chorus tones from yesteryear and a vibrato circuit for a completely
different character. On either setting you get round, warm tones thanks to the
absence of compander circuitry. Companding
does smooth things out, which can be a plus in some effects, but it can also
cause the loss of fullness and responsiveness you find in older effect pedals.
You'll also notice a slight loss of highs, which was actually intentional as
another measure to add to the warmth of the tone. If you're a fan of early
chorus and vibe pedals, this is a nice one. Click here for full
specs and samples. List price is $198; your price is $122.

1.BBE Frequency Boost
Vintage Treble Boost, (pic2). True Bypass -
fresh in the box with manual and power supply! Like the Clean Boost above, this
is a very simple pedal to use but in addition to boosting your signal, it also
colors it in a way that's supposed to emulate one of the classic 60's pedals,
the Dallas Rangemaster. It adds sustain plus a fatter
overdriven tone, specifically fattening up the mid-range while tightening up
the bass. Like the Clean Boost it's built to last, with a metal case, heavy
duty switch, and non-slip rubber bottom. Other features include hardwire
bypass, single op-amp design, LED operation indicator, and an easy-access 9V
battery compartment. Click
here for Harmony-Central, where this pedal scored 9.2 overall in 9 reviews.
With a $149 list price, a good value at $49.95, which is $35
less than online price.Multiples available.

2.BBE Orange Squash
Vintage Compressor, (pic2). These were
recently replaced with the "Benchpress"
Vintage Compressor but it's still an excellent compressor. True Bypass - fresh
in the box with manual and power supply! Formerly called the "Main
Squeeze" and a circuit based on the vintage Dan Armstrong "Orange
Squeezer", although with more adjustment than the original which just had
an on/off switch. It does what a compressor is designed to do - and does it
extremely well - levels-out louder signals while boosting lower signals to
provide a smooth sustain with little to no discernable
change to your original tone. Click
hereand
here for Harmony-Central, where it received all "10" reviews.
With a $215 list price, the newer BBE Compressor is selling in stores for
$149.99. This model has one less knob but sounds just as good and is around 1/2
the price at just $79.99. Multiples available.

3.BBE Boosta
Grande Clean Boost, (pic2). True Bypass
- fresh in the box with manual and power supply! Many players are turning to a
clean boost as the best alternative to an overdrive type pedal. If you already
have the perfect amp tone and simply want to boost your signal for leads, this
is the way to go. Most OD or distortion pedals can boost your signal, but even
with the effect turned all the way down, it inherently colors your tone. The Boosta Grande is priced less than 1/2 of most boutique
boosts but does the job just as we. It delivers up to 20dB of clean gain which
is plenty of umph to drive your preamp tubes to the
max, or as a line buffer/driver to prevent degradation from other effects in
your chain. It's very solidly built, and features a hardwire bypass, single
op-amp design, LED operation indicator, non-slip rubber bottom, and an
easy-access 9V battery compartment - PLUS includes an AC power adapter. BBE has
just changed the cosmetic appearance of this pedal, with a more "boutiquie" look, but the components are the same. Click
here for Harmony-Central, where this pedal scored 9.5 overall in 27
reviews. These pedals are fresh out of the box and at $SOLD OUT, are priced $25
less than the new ones with cartoon graphics.

4.Danelectro Wasabi
Distortion, (pic2). Two
pedals in one - a lead boost and a distortion pedal, each with a large on/off
switch and corresponding large LED indicator on the "tail fins" of
the pedal. Controls are Level which controls the volume going to your amp,
5-way rotary with preset EQ settings, Distortion which controls how clean/dirty
you want your sound, Tone control, and Mix which controls the blend of straight
signal with the distorted signal - which is pretty cool and can make it sound
like a clean guitar and a distorted guitar playing in unison. On the front
panel there is also a switch for "humbucker" or "single"
coil pickups as well as a boost level switch for +5 or +10dB. The Wasabi line
are full-sized pedals, built for the stage with a heavy die-cast housing that
will take a lot of abuse. There are a lot of cool tones in this pedal and
almost too much versatility, but once you find your favorite tone, you'll
probably just keep it set there 90% of the time. The
boost control is a nice feature so even if you're running with distortion on,
when you need to kick into a lead, your signal will jump 5 or 10dB - plenty to
make you jump out of the mix. Like all Dano products, a modest list price of
$129 and selling in stores for $99, but I have them new in the box for $59.

5.Danelectro Wasabi
Overdrive, (pic2).
Same features as the Wasabi Distortion above, except engineered to emulate the
tone of an overdriven tube amp. Again, it's actually two pedals in one - a lead
boost and an overdrive pedal, each with a large on/off switch and corresponding
large LED indicator on the "tail fins" of the pedal. Controls are
Level which controls the volume going to your amp, 5-way rotary with preset EQ
settings, Overdrive which controls how clean/dirty you want your sound, Tone
control, and Mix which controls the blend of straight signal with the
overdriven signal - which is pretty cool and can make it sound like a clean
guitar and a distorted guitar playing in unison. On the front panel there is
also a switch for "humbucker" or "single" coil pickups as
well as a boost level switch for +5 or +10dB. The Wasabi line are full-sized
pedals, built for the stage with a heavy die-cast housing that will take a lot
of abuse. There are a lot of cool tones in this pedal and almost too much
versatility, but once you find your favorite tone, you'll probably just keep it
set there 90% of the time. The boost control is a
nice feature so even if you're running with Overdrive on, when you need to kick
into a lead, your signal will jump 5 or 10dB - plenty to make you jump out of
the mix. Like all Dano products, a modest list price of $129 and selling in
stores for $99, but I have them new in the box for $59.

6.Radial Effects are in! We're
now a Radial dealer and have around a dozen pieces in stock. Usually in stock

Email or call for current new and used inventory.

7.NEW Sabine NEX5300
Stereo Chorus, very high quality from the new NexFX
line and perhaps the biggest sounding stereo effect you've ever plugged in to.
This is the Swirl Master; lush swirling choruses with control for Depth, Speed,
Wet/Dry Mix, Tone, and Sabine 's unique Stereo Auto-Pan. Your head will spin as
our guitar gently whirls. It's Tabernacle Choir awesome.True
Stereo with dual outputs, Auto-pan sweeps between outputs at adjustable rate,
Mix lets you balance original and mixed signal.Extremely
heavy duty construction and nicely packaged with cloth carrying case and
includes power patch cable.Lists at $149.95 and these

11.Complete Dano
Pedalboard with 5 Effects Travel Case/Pedalboard loaded with FIVE Dano
effects, new in the box and includes hard case, power supply, daisy chain to
power pedals, connecting cords and 5 effects: Slap Echo (BLT), Tremolo (Tuna
Melt), Chorus (Milkshake), Overdrive (Pastrami), and Chromatic Tuner. Any of
you last minute Santa's looking for a cool gift - you can even individually
wrap the pedals for stocking stuffers! List price is $254 but save on the
package deal - just $149 for the complete package.

13.Digitech
X-Series Pedals, (high res pic),
disassembled store display, some are perfect,some
have minor finish flaws, all guaranteed to work perfectly. These new X-Series
pedals are some of the best quality floor effects to come along in many years.Extremely solid construction, excellent design, more
versatility than just about any other series of stomp boxes on the market.Available are:

oAMT Bass EQ EQ-7B,
graphic equalizer for bass guitar. Lots of musicians playing this instrument
connect it directly to bass combo or mixer. This type of connection results in
serious deficit in sound control possibilities. The purpose of Bass Equalizer
is to compensate for this deficit. The seven equalization bands of this device
have been singled out from bass guitar sound spectrum for precise and operative
sound correction during a concert or studio recording session. If you need to
overcome the resistance of a long cable used for big stage performance, you can
use Bass Equalizer as a matching device. Sells everywhere online for $129.99
but this one's mint in the box for just $89.99.

oAMT Astral Tube,
latest development of AMT Electronics. This is Martin Hugland's,
the guitar player of the Astral Doors from Sweden, signature pedal. So far
Astral Tube is one of toughest sounding valve distortion emulators produced by
AMT. The forced over amplification level, a denser lows, a pronounced mid-tone
constituent will make your guitar sound unbearably heavy and aggressively.
Unprecedented high distortion level of Astral Tube called for development and
realization of new circuitry solutions which made it possible to avoid noise
level increase without applying special noise reduction device. Due to this the
new effect is very useful for a guitarists playing the most complex and speedy
riffs and solos. Sells everywhere online for $189.99 but this one's mint in the
box for just $129.99.

oAMT British Sound,
for guitarist playing TRASH style. Mellow, extremely overloaded sound with
thick lows, underemphasized middle and set-off highs, nonetheless does not lose
the pattern readability of your playing. The pedal is equipped to simulate an
overloaded amp, the OUT port has a combo emulator. Sells everywhere online for
$109.99 but this one's mint in the box for just $79.99.

oAMT Guitar Krusher, The Guitar Krusher
(formerly guitar packer) is an analog distortion pedal with built in combo
emulation circuitry, pre-amp and built in noise gate. Designed for live, studio
and direct to mixer use. In side by side comparisons live in stores with this pedal,
people were asked to grab their favorite compressor and go head to head with
this model. There were allot of four letter words
floating around! Everyone was blown away with this pedal. Need a good
compressor, buy someone else's, need a great one, buy ours. Sells everywhere
online for $129.99 but this one's mint in the box for just $89.99.

oAMT Tweed Sound, The
AMT Tweed Sound belongs to the popular valve distortion emulator series. The
original circuitry solution of this 100% analog overdrive makes it possible for
the musician to use it for different music styles. Dense but valve-like, the
warm and transparent sound of the Tweed Sound will be useful in the studio as
well as in any live performance. The Frequency-Compensating output of this
device allows it to be connected not only to a guitar combo but also directly
to a mixer or a recorder's line input. Sells everywhere online for $109.99 but
this one's mint in the box for just $79.99.

2.T.C. Electronic
Vintage Distortion, versatility, with a vintage twist. Go from jazzy
laid-back sounds to mega fuzz. With the boost function bypassed you'll get a
sound that makes you think of late night jazz sessions. Turn on the boost and
get the roaring thunders similar to legendary rock albums of the past. Adjust
the Tone knob for that extra edge to your sound. Noted for letting the sound of
your guitar come through regardless of how you set it. T.C. located in Denmark
has for decades built some of the finest effects on the market and I think of
them sort of as one of the first boutique pedals in that quality was never
sacrificed to meet a price point. They've always been expensive pedals but they
last forever. This one's in perfect shape, and with a list price of $275,
nicely priced at $139.

3.Barber Trifecta Fuzz, (pic2). Hey fuzz
freaks, here's a cool one. The Trifecta, so named
because of its 3-way switch, has 3 distinct fuzz tones (based on the triangle
style Big Muff Pi sound, the jumbo Tone Bender and the Suppa
Fuzz) with, with plenty of control to tweak each one to your taste. It also has
Barber's exclusive "Sludge" control to work perfectly with all types
of pickups (humbuckers, single coils, active). The Sludge is specifically a
pre-fuzz bass control circuit to allow you to adjust exactly how much bass gets
pushed through the fuzz circuit. The Trifecta's
variable tone control is also a push/pull type switch which lets you go from
classic scooped to boutique strong fundamental flat style EQ. You'll find a
world of sounds in this pedal so it's far from your one-trick pony. With new
ones running $149, this one's perfect and just $99(SOLD-Brian 5/18). Includes
box and manual. Click here
for a video demo of the Trifecta in action.

4.Beavis Audio Trotsky
Drive Deluxe, (pic2). Designed
by Nate Garcia and Dano at Beavis Audio, the Trostky
Drive is based on the old Electra distortion, a novel idea. I'm talking about
one of the modules that could be inserted into some Electra guitars in the
1970's. It was a cool sound in the Electra, but this is an even better design
as the Trotsky adds germanium clipping diodes, a bright switch, variable gain
and a volume control. This turns it into a boost/light overdrive with added
sparkle and a nice high-end. This one is the deluxe version with a second
toggle switch to choose between germanium or LED clipping. This pedal is
equally at home directly into a tube amp or sandwiched in large pedal chain. Of
special interest if you have a dark amp, like the popular Epi Valve Junior -
the Trotsky brightens up your tone, and without getting overly trebly. The
controls, from left to right are: A bright switch, really useful when switching
between single-coils and humbuckers; Gain Knob: Control the gain by increasing
the resistance to the collector side of the transistor; Volume Knob: Louder or
not louder; Bright Switch; and Germanium/LED switch. You can read more info at http://www.effectsdatabase.com/model/beavisaudio/trotsky#ixzz1KyuoHONR.
Here's
a demo of the regular Trotsky, without the Germanium/LED switch. The
Trotsky runs on a standard Boss 9v wall wart with center ground pin. Sells new
for $179 but this one's in great shape and just $125.

6.Creations
Audio Lab MK 4.23 Clean Boost, (pic2).
Possibly the cleanest, quietest and most sonically transparent boost pedal out
there. The MK.4.23 gives you from zero to +24dB of crystal clear boost -
noiseless boost - with no signal distortion, zero tone coloration and quiet
switching when you engage the circuit. It gives you YOUR TONE, only more of it,
without adding the noise typically associated with an increase in gain. Housed
in 16 gauge stainless steel body and white LED's quite literally reflect
premium materials and craftsmanship. Hearing is believing
- click here for video
demo's at CAL's site, as well as a list of reviews. Runs only on external
power, with a Boss type 9V neg. tip power jack, so you probably already have
proper power in your pedalboard. Nice unit for just $99.

7.Dunlop
Rackmount Crybaby DCR-1S, (back), (acc.). The
wah solution for players with a rack setup. With the Rackmount Crybaby you can
have *every* effect in your rack and this one even features inputs for 4
separate controllers, which lets you put the pedal at, for instance, stage left
and stage right. Features include LED's for input signal, output signals wet
and dry, and clipping; Volume control; push-buttons for bypass, switches to
emphasize Hi-Mid-Low frequencies; 2-band EQ with on/off switch; and power LED
indicator. This is the model that Slash used in the Guns 'N Roses era and was
somewhat akin to a custom shop model back when this was made so you'll find
very few "DCR-1S" models on the market. This model has some empty
slots on the back, perhaps in anticipation of future modifications but the
DCR-1SR followed this model had basically the same back panel, without the
holes. The "1SR" also feature more EQ knobs and did away with the
push-buttons. The current model is the DCR-2SR sells for $599 and it's equipped
with more EQ'ing and variable Q, but if you just want
a quality rackmount wah, this one is beautiful shape - looks like it was used
once or twice - for just $319. Includes control pedal with LED's, 30' Planet
Waves gold-tip cable that easily reaches from the front of the stage to your
backline, and original power supply.

8.Effector 13 Dark Boost Overdrive/Boost, (inside).
Tim Shortnacy hand-builds Effector13 pedals at his
shop in Austin TX and they're fairly rare. Other than one Torn'sPeaker pedal, this is the only one I've had. This one
was built on 3/9/04 and looking at their production stats,
there were only 10-20 of this model built in '03-'04, and a total production of
around 65, give or take, over its run of '03-'09. According to Tim, the Dark
Boost was actually a fluke while trying to design a Bass overdrive/distortion.
He said it "Made my Strat sound more like a Jazzmaster, so I figured :
What the hell... someone's bound to want something like this." Other
guitarists claim it makes their Strat or other single coil guitar, sound fatter
and darker, more like a Les Paul. Not surprisingly, it has also been positively
reviewed by bassists (link).
It's circuit board is suspended inside the pedal, covered in black tape, and
features true bypass. Here
are some reviews at Harmony-Central. I don't know what Effector
13 is doing now, but they have a budget line of pedals out, from the Orient no
doubt, but back when this one was made they sold for $150 and, I'm sure, of
significantly higher than their new line which are distributed by Ooh La
La manufacturing. If you're looking for a
transparent clean boost, this isn't for you, but if you want something to
fatten up your signal, perhaps after running through your favorite
OD/Distortion, this is a great choice. $99.

9.Fulltone
Catalyst, (pic2).
Transform your amp rig with a single, compact pedal, with Fulltone
quality that's built for decades of use and abuse. The Catalyst gives you three
units in one. You get very cool fuzz tones that be easily switched to more
conventional distortion tones, plus you get very useful clean boost utility
(for pumping up leads or maximizing other effects in the signal chain) and a
great-sounding overdrive ï¿½ all from a little box that's easy to use at home,
onstage, or in the studio. The Catalyst features a very intuitive control
layout, with large Volume and Gain knobs, smaller Bass/Mids and Treble knobs,
and a Flame/Spark switch that lets you effortlessly move from fuzz to crunch.
You can transform your amp rig with one pedal. Click here for a YouTube
demo by Tone Factor and here
for a brief GP magazine review, specs, an audio samples. A great little pedal
for $110.

10.FulltoneChoralflange CF-1.
Many call this the ultimate in good old analog modulation. Say what you want
about the digital age and modelling effects, and I'm
a big fan of them for all-in-one processors, but they don't sound like the real
thing. The Choralflange has a wide range of tones -
everything from thick bent-pitch vibrato of an old Boss CE-1 to the transparent
splits of the high-end chorus pedals, but without sounding sterile. And it does
all of this very quietly and in stereo if you need it. There's also loads of
headroom to keep it from distorting when playing aggressively or using heavy
strings or bass. You can even dial in a killer sounding Leslie simulation which
sounds great into your amp but really comes alive in stereo. This circuit
allows you to use max flanging depth without the artificial metallic feedback
of most flangers. You can use this pedal last in your
signal chain to drive your long cables with no tone loss or change in your
sound because of Fulltone's extremely high quality
JFET's used in the audio path. It is the first pedal to offer a choice between
true bypass mono operation and high-quality low impedance out (stereo or mono)
via a mini DIP switch accessible through the bottom hatch. It runs on a 9V
battery or power supply via wall wart or your pedalboard. Click here for a good
YouTube demo and
here for Harmony-Central reviews. These were recently discontinued but sold
for $265. This one is in beautiful shape and could be the ultimate modulation
effect for your pedalboard for just $185(HOLD-Matt V 9/7).

11.Keeley Ibanez TS7
Tubescreamer, (circuit).
Robert Keeley is regarded as one of the top pedal guru's on the market. This is
obviously an early model with the only outward change being a blue LED and
Robert's signature under the lid. Inside, the circuit has had a few changed
components, most notably installation of an RC4558P chip, just like the old
TS808's. There's a good discussion about this model on the Tele Discussion site
(click
here). It's a great sounding pedal, much smoother than the recent Tubescreamers, and nice shape. $99

12.Radial Tonebone Hot British, (pic2). One
of my most popular Radial pedals on the new market - I just got in this one
"as new" and a sweeter deal. The Hot Brit is based on high-gain
amplifier designs, tailored to extract ultra-rich harmonics and full-on
saturated tube settings without the mud or noise that is typical with other
pedals. The powerful EQ settings truly allow the player to dial in to the type
of tones that create everything from chunky rhythms to sizzling lead solos. New
cost on these is $199 ($275 list) but this one is "as new" in the box
with everything for just $149.

13.Awenda
Firefox, this is a one-off
so you'll have the only one as far as I know. How does it sound? As dirty as it
gets. With the octave switch you can get something resembling round-wave
patterns but I can only recommend to someone who's looking for the gnarliest germanium transistor tone. A peek inside showed
circuit board construction but the pots at least aren't soldered to the circuit
board and are built the old way; built to last more than a few eyars. To me, the tone is absolutely horrible, but with
that said it's very close to many of the very expensive Hendrix clone
octave/distortions on the market. Hand-painted with very cool looks and at $69
I think it's a steal for a one-off pedal that sounds this cool. You can check
out Awenda's site here.

14.Carl Martin Rock
Drive, emulates the sound of a hard driven tube amp, responsive to
individual playing dynamics without altering the basic tone of the guitar.
Capable of emulating tones from a smoking Twin to a beefed up JCM 800, without
low-string mush or raspy highs. Features true bypass and runs on 9V or optional
AC adapter. Lists for $210 but this one's in super clean shape with box and
manual for just $99.

15.Digitech Donegan Signature Model Weapon, get the guitar tones
used Dan Donegan, guitarist for the multi-platinum
band Disturbed, with his signature pedal. The Weapon incorporates effects like
sitar simulation, phaser, reverb, dynamic autowah, Whammy-quality pitch shifting, and features both
Amp and CIT compensated Mixer outputs. Includes some cool packing with its own
power supply, signature guitar pick, and "gigbag" for the effect.
This pedal could be sold as new and includes all the original stuff. With a
list of $199, these sell at USA's biggest retailer for $149. Here's one
"as new", and just $89.

16.Fulltone
Custom Shop Full-Drive 2, in custom color Fiesta Red, numbered 205 from a
limited run. From 2003 limited run of Ferrari Yellow. Aside from its limited
edition appeal, this is perhaps the finest overdrive pedals on the market and,
in fact, was voted by GP Mag as one of the top 50 effects of all time. This is
one of the earlier models that incorporated the mini-toggle in place of the
push/pull pot. "Vintage" for old-style Fd2 mid-heavy tones that cut
through the mix, "FM" stands for "flat-mids" offering a
more natural sound but I've enhanced this mode for even more transparency, it
sounds great on a Strat's Neck Pickup; and "CompCut" feature removes the bounding from the
feedback loop allowing for Monster Clean Boost tones and some rougher OD sounds
with the OD and Boost knobs turned up. Probably not the best choice for gigging
as you're paying a lot for a color, but for the collector, a good deal on a
discontinued run pedal, in collector's condition, for $259. Includes box,
manual, sticker.

17.Fulltone
Fat Boost. As players become more attuned to quality sound, I get more and
more requests from players for clean boosts. This is one of the best for the
money. the Fat-Boost Class A Discrete design offers up to up to 30db of Clean
Boost without any change to your EQ; makes your sound Bigger, with more
even-order harmonics. Blues players with the vintage-type tube amps will never
turn this thing off. Works great in front of Master-Volume amps to kick them up
a notch. Perfect shape and made with the best components. This is the original
model Fat Boost and sold new for $159 but this one' perfect with manual and
just $99(Tent. Hold - Andy R 12/10).

19.Lexicon PCM60 Reverb.
"As is" sale. Worked prior to shipping to me - now it powers up but
only emits a high-pitch squeal. One of the real classic units from the 80's and
the choice unit by most touring pro guitarists. You didn't see these in rack
systems of your local club band as the PCM60 cost as much as a complete budget
rack system. Although it's called a stereo unit, with dual outputs, it only has
a single input and the output is a simulated stereo. The simple user interface
is unmatched in today's market and requires little effort to dial in the right
sound. Front panel controls include input, mix, and output controls along with
a five segment input meter. A bypass button is provided to take the PCM60 out
of a mix. Two reverb types are provided: room and plate. For each type there
are four settings for size, and four settings for decay. High and low contours
can be applied to the reverb, although they are on/off rather than continuously
variable. The reverbs are lush and in addition to guitar racks or vocals, they
really work great on drums. Although not a "real" sounding reverb,
this unit has always been insanely popular by virtue of the sheer fatness of
the tone. We never had this unit checked out by a tech and shut it off as soon
as we heard the high frequency squeal so it could be an easy fix. Appears to be
all original other than power cable has been shortened to rack length. These
sell for $500-$600 in working condition but if you're handy with circuits, this
could be a real bargain at 1/2 price, just $250.

20.Line 6 Pod Limited
Edition #1, (picture
2), mint condition-never retailed and includes manual and CD (gigbag was
sold), only 150 were distributed in the USA, forward thinkers might ponder what
has been the most influential guitar effect of this generation (answer is: The
POD). Will it be the TS-808/Mutron III of future
collectors? If it is, this very rare and mint example would be the one Iï¿½d
hold onto. Okay, enough salesman talk, $350

21.Line 6 POD Limited
Edition #2 , another one, again only 150 were distributed in the USA with
this chrome finish, very collectable and underneath it all comes the classic
effect that revolutionized guitar multi-effects, comes with power supply,
manual, and CD (carrying case not included), if you just want a plain old POD
I've usually got 'em for $115 or so and this one doesn't sound any different.
It is, however, 100,000 times as rare, $350.

22.Maxon AD9Pro Analog
Delay, (pic2).
Made in Japan. Top of the line analog unit that takes the classic AD9 a step
further. Tone is pure and crystal-clear via 4 Maxon BBD IC (MC4107D) chips
which provide up to 450ms delay time, 50% more than the AD9. This unit has the worlds first RMS level sensor and noise reduction system,
which provide unsurpassed transparency for a stompbox. With the AD9Pro, typical
aliasing (original and delayed signal become indistinguishable) and clock
noises in analog delay are minimized and the dynamic range was improved by 18dB
and maximum input level by 12dB, compared with AD9. Improved low range sounds
bolder and an excellent balance between low and high range while retaining the
warmth of analog. Single Head/Dual Head Mode is switchable with newly added
tape echo multi-head simulation function. In Dual Head Mode, midstream delay
signal (which is taken from the middle of BBD delay circuit) is added into
normal delay signal. This feature provides extensive delay effects such as tape
echo multi-head simulation and ambience effect of a concert hall. Features True
Bypass Switching on both outputs and two-way power operation, using 9V battery
or optional AC adaptor. Sells new for $337 but this one is "as new"
in the box for just $239(SOLD 7/11)

23.Radial Tonebone Classic, One of the best sounding tube
overdrives on the market, and as is typical with Radial, has plenty of knobs
and switches to tailor it to YOUR guitar and amp. This isn't to say it's
complicated. Once you set it - you can forget it - and perhaps just tweak the
"Drive" from one song to the next. Level control provides overall
output level control to your amp. High and low EQ knobs let you fine tune the
tonal character, while the filter knob provides a gentle roll-off for
extra-bright amps. The drive knob adjusts the input level for optimum
distortion. For switches, the Top End offers Bright, Flat, and Dark settings to
shape the feel and overall tone. Mid Boost is designed with classic amp sounds
in mind, and gives you a 7dB or 12dB boost for solos. Drive Gain sets the
distortion range to low, medium, or high. It's a very heavy duty pedal and the
circuit is true-bypass. Lists at $275 and I sell these new for $189 but this
clean used one works perfectly and is $50 cheaper at $139. Includes power
supply.

24.Moen Shaky
Jimi, Bang for the buck winner in a chorus-vibrato pedal with the signature
liquid sounding tones of Jimi, built like a tank with steel housing and metal
stomp switch, and true bypass design. With a little tweaking you can get some
pseudo rotary speaker tones and with the analog circuit, it has that vintage
tone, although much more quiet than most vintage models I've used. With a
quality built pedal like this Moen could have sold this pedal considerably
higher, but with a street price well under $100, they're probably going to make
it up in volume sales. Pretty cool pedal that should last for many years - for
$49(HOLD-Brian 7/31/13).

25.T-Rex Room-Mate
Reverb, (pic2).
From T-Rex, Denmark, comes an amazing little stompbox which is one of the best
tube reverbs you'll hear. Features 4 modes including Classic Plate, Warm Hall,
Bright Hall, and Chorus with Warm Hall, with true stereo outputs and dials for
Mix, Level, and High Cut. Rather than do a long description, click
here for T-Rex's site, complete with sound samples. Also, here's a great
demo (link), mainly
because it's all done on clean settings, which showcase the tone of this great
little box. Especially recommended for pedal boards where space is an issue as
it's around the size of a Boss pedal, very small for a tube reverb/chorus. New
price is $369, including power supply. This one's in nice shape with original
box, power supply and manual, and $110 less than new - just $259.

26.T.C. Electronic
Nova Reverb NR-1, (pic2).
Studio quality reverb sounds in a small floor effect. Some of the best reverbs
you'll hear in any configuration - what else would you expect from T.C.
Electronic, makers of some of the finest floor and rack effects for pro
guitarists worldwide The main feature of the Nova Reverb is it's
ability to store a setting which allows you to dial in one setting for a
particular song and with the touch of a button switch over to the stored
setting which may be your "regular" setting for the majority of your
songs. The Nova Reverb also has a unique new feature called DynaMix
which acts as a dynamic ducking effect that turns down the reverb while you're
playing and turns it back up again when you're not playing. This prevents the
sound from getting muddy especially when using large hall reverb types but will
still give you that huge live venue effect while the notes decay. The DynaMix can also be reversed so the reverb is turned up
while playing and gated when the input signal falls below a certain level,
producing a truly unique and out-of-this-world effect. For YouTube demo's, click
here. Click
here for full specs from the TCE site and manual is downloadable from this page. $249 new, this
used one works perfectly and is a great reverb for $165(SOLD-Travis 1/10).
Includes power supply.

27.Visual Sound
Double Trouble V2DT, Combines the overdrive channel in Visual Sounds two
top OD's: The Jekyll & Hyde and Route 66 pedals. Over the years, Visual
Sound has had many requests to put two of these overdrives into one pedal,
allowing for two different settings and the ability to use them together. Can
be used as a simple clean boost, bass boost, or even both channels running
together at full distortion. You get the great sound and all the advantages of
V2 Series construction, plus the addition of an innovative noise reduction
system. For sound clips, click
here for Visual's site or a pretty good YouTube demo here. Straight
"10's" on 3
reviews at Harmony-Central. Built like a tank with very heavy housing and
heavy duty switches. Sells new for $169. This one's immaculate with box, CD,
manual, etc. for $50 less, just $119.

28.Vox Cooltron
CT03BT Brit Boost, (close-up).
Two pedals in one - Treble Boost and Full Range Boost - with a real 12AU7 tube
to overdrive and true bypass switching. Housed in heavy duty brushed metal
housing, with the tube glowing through vents, it's built for the road. If
you're using an amp without sufficient input gain, this can be used to beef up
your amp's natural distortion, or if you're looking for a Vox amp tone, this
thing does a pretty good job on the treble boost setting. In the Full Range
Boost position it enhances all frequencies, adding lows, mids, and some highs
while the Treble Boost mode and is good for pushing a slightly overdriven amp
into heavy overdrive. Also good for warming up the tone of a sterile solid
state amp. Accepts 9V AC adapter but runs on 4 AA batteries for 16 hours of
operation. Click here for a demo which moves rather slowly along; just forward
to around 4:20 to hear it after he starts cranking the dials a bit. Also, Vox
has 8 audio samples around 3/5 down this page. List price is $300
and the few that are still on the web are $199. I have a few of these in stock,
new in the box, and just $129 with free shipping.

MISC VINTAGE EFFECTS

1980'S KORG MODULAR EFFECTS:

Loaded Korg PME40X
(typical group
in stock) (almost
complete line-up). The PME40X (Professional Modular Effects) was a cool
idea from Korg which ran from '84 to '85, serving as a pedalboard with power
supply, on/off switches for each effect, and master bypass - with choice of
mono or stereo outputs to accommodate those effects which are stereo. It can be
loaded with any of and allowed the user to load the central unit with any 4
effects and put them in the order that sounds best to you. They lock in place
but each can also be secured with a single screw in the bottom of the unit for
semi-permanent installation. I have multiples of most of these but rare ones like
the Octave V, Distortion Wah, an Wave Shaper, usually just one at a time. Korg
made a total of 14 effects. Buy any 4 effects and get the PME40X base unit for
free. Here's a great
link for the PME manual. Models currently in stock include:

·I also have a plastic
case that fits the board plus 2 additional effects (don't know if it was a
stock item but it fits perfectly) with one busted latch, $15.

·For collectors, I have two
base units with original boxes - serial number on box and unit matches (pictured here)
for $50/each.

Alphabetic listing - Misc Vintage Effects:

1.ADA PowerPlug-5, AC-powered
and provides power to five 9V effects, two slave inputs, great for your
custom-made pedalboard, $45

2.Aria OD-10 Overdrive.
Pretty rare OD pedal, made only '83-'85. Its main feature is its dual-stage
operation. Turn off the 2-stage and the stomp pad operates like a normal pedal.
Switch the 2-stage switch to "On" and the stomp pad becomes a dual
function with a regular on/off for "Stage 1" plus a non-latching
(i.e. only works when you hold the pedal down) "Stage 2". Stage-1 is
set by the regular Drive knob while Stage-2 is set by a small, almost recessed,
Drive dial located just south of the Drive knob. This can come in handy if you
want to set up a 2nd gain stage for song passages with more overdrive than rest
of the song, such as on an extended, decaying note. This pedal uses the JRC
4559D (pic),
which is an op-amp that's not without some acclaim; Barber uses it in his Burn
Unit EQ pedal and Barber Small Fry, while Paul Cochrane uses it in his Tim
pedal. The Level control sets the amount of volume going to the output jack,
the Tone affects both stages and goes from a low mellow sound, still with some
highs, while turned fully clockwise it doesn't sound a
all buzzy, just crisper. Here are a few reviews
on Harmony-Central. Overall it's a very smooth sounding OD but with some grit,
especially if you crank the tone up. Compare this to other 80's Japan OD's and
this is definitely one of the good ones. Very nice shape, all original, nice
sounding & rare pedal for $69.

3.Boss CS-1 Compression
Sustainer, Insanely clean. The first compact compressor from Boss, bassed on the larger Roland AS-1. Built form '78 to '82,
this is a very early model silver-screw model. It's surprisingly quiet compared
to other comp's from this era. Has separate level and sustain knobs, plus a
mini toggle switches between normal or a treble setting that adds some high end
crispness. Not the most radical compressor made and it squishes your signal in
a more subdued way. Attack is preset at a somewhat slow rate and adds a nice,
warm percussive tone that's great for jazz, country, and classic rock tones.
The Treble switch was discontinued when they started producing the later CS-2,
which was unadvised in my opinion. It's a very useful featuring for adding
color and making leads really stand out. By use of Photocouplers
instead of the later Voltage Conrolled Amplifiers,
the CS-1 is radically different from the later CS-2 and CS-3. Collectors are
paying $150 and up for the later CS-2 but here's a super rare first issue
compressor, 50X more rare than a CS-2, for $150.

4.1986 Boss CS-2 Compression
Sustainer. Made in Japan. Incredibly nice shape for 24 years and considered
by many players to be the best stomp box compressor ever made. Like all Boss
pedals from this era, built for decades of hassle free use and this pedal will
likely be in use 24 years from now. It has a few minor finish chips but overall
very clean shape, with original box, and priced just slightly higher than a
beater at $125 (sold out).

5.1983 Boss CS-2
Compression Sustainer. Made in Japan. Typically well-used CS-2 with plenty
of finish chips but that means little with these things. It works and sounds as
good as a museum condition CS-2. Good value for the player at $79 (sold
out).

6.Boss PW-1 Rocker Wah,
very old school and cool Boss wah. Has range selector and width control for
choosing range over which the effect is applied. Scratch noise is eliminated by
use of an electronics volume control instead of a gear pot for a lifetime of
trouble free use. Collectable and useable, $65(SOLD-Dennis 4/5).

7.Crybaby Original
Thomas Organ Model, the classic 70'ï¿½'s Wah, does the "Shaft"
thing and nails the signature tone that was the 70's, player's grade in
appearance but works perfectly and sounds perfect, $139

8.1980 Electroharmonix Bassballs, (inside pic), so clean
you'll think it's a reissue but this one's actually 26 years old. Advertised as
the first and only envelope follower of its kind. The vocal sound of its two
sweeping filters gives bass a strong presence under leads, or a commanding
quality when out front. The resonant frequencies are engineered solidly into
the full range of the bass guitarï¿½s strongest harmonics. Bassballs
will respond to every bass note. The sweep is widely variable, and harmonic
enrichment is available with the Fuzz engaged. Sounds equally at home on guitar
or bass and this one, in collector's condition, is just $175.

9.1977
Electroharmonix Little Big Muff Pi EH-1009, One of the most excellent
sounding fuzz boxes from the 70's. There's nothing "little" about the
sound, it's just that it's housed in the smaller Small Stone sized box. During
this era many of these actually had the regular Big Muff circuit board but
instead of the two extra pots, they simply preset the tone and sustain
controls. These smaller EH boxes are better suited for pedalboards,
where real estate is at a premium, plus it also includes a standard 1/8"
input to get power directly from your power supply. One of the cleanest Little
Muffs I've seen - obviously has seen very little use. For a classic vintage
fuzz tone, here's a nice one for $135.

10.1977 Electroharmonix
Memory Man Echo/Analog Delay, a classic from EH and one of the cooler
analog delays of its time. In addition to the echo/delay, this model also
features a switchable boost circuit to add some umph
to your signal. It's a pseudo stereo unit with one output being direct (no
effect), with the other output being the delayed signal. With the
"Blend" control the effect output goes from a 50/50 (clean/effect)
mix to 100% effect, and wasn't designed to put out a clean signal with the
effect engaged. Very nice shape for its age other than the white power cord,
which I suspect is a replacement. Just gone over by my tech and 100%
functional. Compare to an AD9, DM2, or DM3, and this is a bargain analog at
$199.

15.Electroharmonix Dr. Q,
1977, Envelope Follower, hard to believe you can get such a variety of cool
tones out of one knob and one switch, this thing's too cool and ridiculously
clean, VG Price Guide at $175-$200 in only excellent condition but this one's
near mint in the box for $175

17.Electroharmonix Small
Stone, 1975, one of the classic Phase Shifters and a great sounding unit,
adjustable sweep rate from barely noticeable to complete garble, 2-way color
switch, works perfectly and an easy 9+ condition, priced for the collector at
$149(SOLD)

18.Greco Pedal Phaser,
very cool vintage Japan-made pedal, identical to the Ibanez PT-1000 Phase Tone
(example picture) and
probably made in same factory, very lush sounding phaser
with speed controlled by rocker pedal, fast/slow ranges, very good for rotary
speaker simulation like a Rotovibe, clean shape and
all original except for 9V adapter jack installed in bottom plate, works
perfectly and an excellent value in vintage Japan effects. Can't find it but
when and if I do, it's $150

19.Ibanez EBL5 Master
Series Effects Board, (with lid removed),
RARE-RARE-RARE - Includes (CP10 Compressor), (CD10 Delay Champ), (GE10 Graphic EQ), (PC10 Prime Dual
Chorus), (TS10
Tubescreamer Classic). This is a super rare find for the Ibanez Collector -
first one of these pedal board I've ever seen, much less had. The EBL5 was the
companion piece during the early 80's 10-series pedals, which are quality made
with metal housing, and sounds as good as the earlier 9-Series, but featured
updated cosmetics. The TS10 is a very highly regarded Tube Screamer, preferred
by some player over the earlier TS9 or even the very early TS808. The PC10 is a
rare bird, and features two pedals in one with the ability to switch between
them - use the "A" side for your basic chorus, while the
"B" side can be set for chorus or add in some flange and delay and
it's capable of many flanger tones. The CD10 is a
quality analog delay with the warm, natural sound of the AD9 and the same 300ms
delay time. All of these pedals are extremely clean, having been housed in the
board since new. The board, which supplies power to all the pedals as well as
stereo outputs, isn't as clean as the pedals but nice enough shape for its age.
If you're a 10-series collector, or just a player who wants the simplicity of
quality stomp boxes, this is an excellent find. $399(SOLD-Phil T 2/7) takes all
5 pedals, plus the ultra-rare EBL5. Includes connecting patch cables and daisy
chain power cable - everything you need to just plug in and play.

21.Ibanez DPL10 Pan
Delay, (pic2),
(catalog).
One of the rare ones - and in museum condition. I've had over dozens and dozens
of Ibanez 10-Series pedals but this is the first one of this model I've had.
Can be used as your basic digital delay with 800ms delay time (same as Boss
DD-2/DD-3) but also doubles as a Pan delay with the delayed signal panning
between the left and right outputs (400ms delay in panning mode). Depending on
how you dial it in, can be used as a panning delay, echo/reverb, slapback, or regular delay. If you check google images, you'll see these with either blue knobs or,
like this one, green knobs. The knobs and everything else is 100% stock and in
9.9 condition with no finish chips or wear. 10-Series are very collectable
since there were over 25 pedals in the series and the prices are well below the
earlier 9-series. I would guess that very few collections have this model and
at $139 you're getting what may be the cleanest example of this very rare
pedal.

22.Ibanez SD9 Sonic
Distortion. Early 80's Japan; preferred by many over the more poplar TS9.
It doesn't have the mid-range hump of the TS9 with more bottom and upper ends,
sort of the "smile" shape on your graphic EQ which makes it an
excellent choice for metal players. Click
here for a bunch of Harmony Central reviews where it scored very high; 9.2
sound quality and overall. Bottom plate is missing label but otherwise it's all
there, all original, and works perfectly. $99.

23.Ibanez CCL Dual Chorus,
use footpad to switch between two chorus/flange or for on/off, excellent
sounding analog unit, $75

24.Ibanez CP-835
Compressor, definitely player's grade but a great sounding compressor from
the same TS-808 era. Works great and priced for the working musician or
collector on a budget at $79.

25.Ibanez FL-301, (extra casing
included), early 80's. Here's one with some personality! Works fine in the
hand-painted casing or if you're ambitious, I'm including a normal, unpainted
box and you can switch everything over. Like all of these 301's, it's a great
sounding Flanger and, hey, you gotta admit this one
has some personality. $99 - includes painted and original casing.

28.Ibanez GE10 EQ, one
of the 80's "10-series" which are quality effects in metal cases,
rough cosmetics but works great, $49

29.Ibanez LM7 L.A. Metal,
no frills overdrive, warm tone, heavy and built like a tank, a few light
scratches on face but silver case is flawless so collector's condition for $55

30.Ibanez LS10 Dual Loop
Selector, one of the most useful of the quality 80's 10-series pedals,
better than your average looper as this one does two separate loops, each with
its own gain selector with +/- 6dB, choose loop A, B, A+B, or none. This unit
has seen very little playing time and is a very nice 9 condition. A lot of
players have started collecting 10-series Ibanez as the quality is comparable
to the earlier 9-series, but they're still affordable. I believe this is the
first LS10 I've ever had and it's definitely clean enough for the collection
plus useful enough for the pro player. $79(HOLD-JD 11/3)

31.Ibanez Phase
Tone II PT707, 1970's, the newest in my collection of four different models
of the Phase Tone, this one is the short-lived "stubby" box with dual
controls, has some paint chips but pretty nice as these go, $125

32.Ibanez Phaser
Collection, it just occurred to me that I had a mini-collection of these,
they're all listed separately but they make a nice set and at $125/ea, a good
vintage value

34.Ibanez SC10 Super
Stereo Chorus, (pic2).
Truly one for the collectors and NOS condition including box and manual. These
10 series are great pedals, with this 1984 SC10 coming right on the heels of
the CS9. These are excellent sounding units, comparable to the Boss CE-2 in
warmth plus a little more tweaking ability. I have ones at around 1/2 this
price but if you want the best, this is it. $129.

35.Maxon Roto 1 Phase (click to enlarge). Very early
Maxon/Ibanez phase shifter, Model 863 from ca. '76, and an excellent sounding
Phaser. As far as controls, it can't get any simpler - step on the switch to
turn it on and then rotate knob until desired sweep rate is achieved.
Competition from this era was the MXR Phase 90 (Script logo), with similar
looks and controls, but the Roto 1 is much more rare
and sounds at least as good, if not better. Has internal pots you can adjust to
change the tone. This is a very rare effect, so you Maxon/Ibanez collectors
might want to add it to your vintage collection. Nice deal on a very rare and
excellent sounding phaser at $165(HOLD-Steve 5/19).

36.Morley Vintage Tuner
WITH LED's! LED readout shows what pitch you're at (i.e. reads, "440"
when your on A, "445" when you're a tad
sharp, etc.), a very early digital tuner but it's actually new old stock! with
manual, $35

37.Morley Volume Pedal,
1975, one of the classic original Tel-Ray Electronics, North Hollywood, large
chrome models, very clean shape and one of the best volumes made, works on
optical sensor so you never have a pot that wears out, very collectable and
imminently useful, $89(HOLD-Andrew UK 11/24).

38.MXR Bass Octave,
old but works great - refinished red for some reason but, hey, who cares, its just $59.

42.MXR Sustain Mod.
163, 80's model compressor, pretty much mint in box with manual and
warranty. If you're a collector of the Commande
series or just want a good sounding straight ahead compressor, here's a nice
one for $59

43.Pearl CO-04 Compressor,
very collectable and excellent quality Japan line, very near mint. I'll call it
9.5 to be safe, definitely worthy of your collection but priced low enough to
actually use, $89

44.Pearl Package Deal:
FG-01 Flanger, Pearl DS-06 Distortion, Pearl OD-05 Over Drive. The Pearl
Flanger is a good sounding flanger but with some
tweaking of the knobs, also does a very good chorus and even some slapback echo/delay sounds. The Pearl DS-06 (shown here) isn't
your average distortion pedal. Using just the Level and Distortion knobs, this
pedal acts pretty much like your average DS-1 distortion but there's a lot more
to this baby. By adding in the "Spectrum" controls, a 6-mode spectrum
selector and spectrum level control, you can add in a little - or a lot - of
notch filter overdrive, similar to a wah in a fixed position. The tone isn't
totally unlike the old Boas SP-1 Spectrum in it's
tone. The Pearl OD-05 offers the same sort of "wah" effect as the
DS-06, except offers the user the ability to select the frequency and the
option to boost OR cut the frequency rather than a rotary with fixed presets.
The OD-05 uses a pair of JRC 4558DD chips (double-shielded 4558D), just like
the famed TS808 Tubescreamer and the tone is very much like an overdriven tube
amp. Maybe it's my ears, but to me this pedal retains much of the guitar's
clean signal mixed in rather than giving you all distortion. I like the pedal
but it's probably not for everybody. Please note that I only have one original
battery cover for these pedals. They're just slabs of metal with a screw so
they're easy to make but tape also works fine. FG-01 Flanger or DS-06 are both
$65/each. The OD-05 is on hold (Travis T 2/12).

46.Rockman Soloist,
ca. 1985. Original 80's model, which was a more affordable version of the
X-100. The Soloist has the same "Boston" clean and overdrive tone as
the X-100 except it only has one clean setting (X-100 has two) and it doesn't
have echo. It does have the distortion-edge-clean settings and lush stereo
chorus that are trademark tones for the Rockman tone. Works great through your
amp, straight into the recording/live console, or as a practice amp through
headphones. It runs on 8 AA batteries or optional Rockman power supply. With a
split stereo cable (1/8" RTS to dual RCA) you can run into your recording
deck, home stereo, etc. Yes, this unit sounds great played through a home stereo
unit. You get a wide stereo field for the chorus and the overall tone is closer
to studio quality than if played through a guitar amp. All switches and jacks
work perfectly and a cheap way to get an authentic "Boston" tone. $79
or add $40 for an original SR&D power supply (pic).

47.Rockman X-100,
(front/back).
Back in the mid-80's the X-100 was a step up from the Soloist, with 2 clean and
2 distortion settings, analog chorus and analog echo, with 3 output level
settings. We sold these at Hotlicks for $199 and
couldn't keep them in stock. This unit is unit you want for that
"Boston" sound, with killer clean and OD tones with loads of
compression, and is equally at home in the studio, live, or headphone use. It
features a belt-clip which is frequently used to anchor the unit to an amp
handle. You have to exercise some care when buying these as many have developed
glitches in the jacks and switches but this one checks out 100% and has no
issues whatsoever. Prices on original SD&R products have really taken off
but these are still a good value at $129 (several available - Hold one for Stan
7/16). Add $40 for an original SR&D power supply (pic), or if you
want an early model without the power supply jack, $45 for an original
Rockadapter, which plugs into the battery compartment.

48.Rockman
Soloist in Box with Headphone, (front/back),
(panel),
(headphones).
Original 80's model, which a slightly more affordable version of the X-100. The
Soloist has the same "Boston" clean and overdrive tone as the X-100
except it only has one clean setting (X-100 has two) and it doesn't have echo.
It does have the distortion-edge-clean settings and lush stereo chorus that are
trademark tones for the Rockman tone. Works great through your amp, straight
into the recording/live console, or as a practice amp through headphones. With
a split stereo cable ( 1/8" RTS to dual RCA) you can run into your
recording deck, home stereo, etc. Yes, this unit sounds great played through a
home stereo unit. You get a wide stereo field for the chorus and the overall
tone is closer to studio quality than if played through a guitar amp. It runs
on 8 AA batteries or optional Rockman power supply. We sold the Soloist with
power supply for $169 back in '85 and, in fact, the original store price
sticker is still on the box. Cleaner than most of these I get in and $70
cheaper than it sold for 25 years ago at $99 - or $129 with the optional
Rockman power supply (pic).

49.ca.'84
Scholz SR&D Bass Rockman, (close-up).
(available with or without optional Rockadapter). Shortly after release of the
popular Rockman X-100, came the Bass Rockman, especially designed to meet the
needs of bassists. I used one of these in the mid-80's, both on stage and in
the studio, and I'm quite a fan of their tone. Played through headphones,
you'll hear a tone you've never heard before. It won't sound like your usual
jamming...it will sound like you're listening to a CD and you're playing the
notes. This unit features a quality analog chorus, 2 clean settings, a distortion
setting, Fat-Bright-Mid EQ settings, High Frequency Clip and Comp switches,
Sustain level switch, Hi/Lo volume setting as well as a Gain dial on back,
1/8" stereo headphone/line out pair, and an Aux Input/Low Level Out
1/4" jack. You can hook these up to your guitarist's Rockman and get some
great tones on a "silent" jam. Quiet enough for the studio and on
stage adds fatness and a pretty good vintage bass distortion for your Cream
songs. We sold these new in the mid-80's for $199 which is like $403 in 2011
dollars. This is the cleanest Bass Rockman I've had since I owned mine back in
'85 and includes original SR&D headphones, manual, and box. I see beaters
regularly going up to $125 but isn't it worth a little more to get one that's
obviously seen little use and one that works flawlessly? $149(SOLD-Joe in CA
9/6) for this one or, if you also want the Rockadapter, $189.

50.Rockman Soloist
WITH Power Supply, (panel).
Looking for the Tom Scholz "Boston" tone? Here you go. This is the
original 80's model, which was a more affordable alternative to the X-100.
We're not talking Guitar Ace, which came out a decade later, without the
technology that made the originals instant classics. The Soloist sounds much
like the X-100 except has one less tone selections and doesn't have echo. It
does have distortion-edge-clean settings and a lush stereo chorus. Works great
through your amp, straight into the recording/live console, or as a practice
amp through headphones. Runs on a bunch of AA batteries or external Rockman
power supply which was an optional accessory back in the 80's. A warning to
anyone looking for old Scholz/SR&D products, many of the X-100's and
Soloists have issues with switches and jacks, so be careful when purchasing
one. I have 3 in stock that are good for little more than spare parts. We
cleaned all switches and inputs on this one and it works perfectly. Priced at
$109 - which *includes* original SR&D power supply, which I've seen selling
for $40-$50 - or if you don't need the power supply, $85.

on this one and it works perfectly. A very cool sounding unit for $85. I might
have an original SR&D power supply for $39 if desired.

52.Rockman Wah-Wah RW-1.
First one of these I've ever had. Uses optical sensor instead of a pot so no
scratchy pot to replace and years of hassle-free use. Decent used condition;
works perfectly. $65.

53.Rockman
X-100, (controls)
The X-100 was "the good one", with 2 clean and 2 distortion settings,
analog chorus and analog echo, with 3 output level settigs.
This unit is THE one you want for that "Boston" sound and is equally
at home in the studio, live, or headphone use. For some reason it quit working
on battery power, but the way these eat batteries it's better to use power
supplies. I just happen to have one of the original Rockman external power
supply units that I am including. Priced at $125(SOLD-Dayna
V 1/18) with the power supply or if you already have a power supply, $25 less.

55.Ross Phaser, How
many of us had one of these back in the day? The Ross Phaser was one of the
most popular of its era in the early 80's, with a sound quality on par with the
various MXR units and unlike the Phase 90, this one features an intensity
control rather than a preset level. It sounds as good today as it did 25 years
ago and is a good value in a vintage pedal at $85(Tent. Hold - Michael C 2/3).

57.Tokai TCH-1
Analog Chorus, Excellent sounding analog - very close to the Boss CE-2 but
a little more versatile. Has stereo outputs with the "sub" out on top
of the unit providing a direct signal in the "Sep" mode, or an
effected signal in the "Rev" mode. Please don't ask what Sep/Rev
stand for. All I can say is that Rev is a normal sounding chorus, while the Sep
is a has more pitch change and is more of a Vibrato effect than chorus.
Overall, very lush sounding and very little noise. These are rare effects, made
by Tokai Gakki in Japan, and I would guess manufactured in the 80's. This one's
in pretty nice shape, other than some corroded paint on the right and front of
the unit. $99.

1.Boss BCB-6 Loaded
with Boss Pedals, (pedals). One
of the original road-ready pedalboards, manufactured
from '84 to '89. The idea is to eliminate the clutter of a mess of cables,
eliminate the need to buy countless batteries, safe transportation, and quick
set up - just remove the cover, plug in and you're jamming. Holds and powers
six pedals, plus has a slot that fits the Boss TU-series tuners, for 7 in all.
Includes a brand new Boss daisy chain. The daisy chain powers all the pedals
and is neatly run through a recessed channel with a sliding cover over the
channel once everything's in place. Also included are the AC adapter which
feeds the PSM5 Power Supply/Master Switch . The PSM-5 distributes power to the
pedals and can also be used to turn off all effects simultaneously. In addition
to the PSM5, this set up includes the CE-5 Chorus Ensemble, PH-2 Phaser, BF-2
Flanger, CS-3 Compression/Sustainer, and SD-1 Super Overdrive. Let me know what
type of distortion you want and I can swap out the SD-1 for a DS-1 or other
distortion/overdrive. The pedals are a mix of Japan and Taiwan, in near mint to
good condition, and all work perfectly. If purchased new, you'll get 2 or 3
Boss pedals for $299 - or you can get this entire unit consisting of 6 pedals,
daisy chain, and the BCB carrying case. All you'll need are 5 shortie cables to connect the effects, which are available
for around $10 for an 8 pack. Note: We can swap out some of these pedals, at no
additional cost or with an upcharge, depending on the swap, but the first buyer
who wants it as it sits will have first dibs.

5.Boss BCB-60 Pedal Board,
(open), (sample layout), (1-spot
power supply). Hugely updated version of the old BCB-6, which houses all of
your pedals for easy setup and transport. Unlike the old unit which only housed
Boss Compact series, the BCB-60 allows you to use different size pedals such as
the Twin pedals, wah's, and pedals from most other
manufacturers. Included with this kit is the BCB-60, 8 1/4" connecting
cables with gold tips, and a new Visual Sound 1-spot, which includes daisy
chain and connectors for virtually any type of pedal. The 1-spot includes Daisy
Chain, Multi-Plug 8 Cable, (2) Battery Clip Converters, (2) 3.5mm (1/8")
Converters, and an L6 Converter for Line 6 modeling pedals, It takes up only
one spot on your power strip and handles an impressive up to 1700mA. Read full
specs here
at BossUS. New price on the BCB and a One-Spot combo
pack is $184 but this used one is in perfect shape, never modified inside, and
a well built and easy to set up unit for $129(HOLD-Brian C 9/23).

7.Boss AW-3 Dynamic Wah,
Guitar and Bass Wah with Humanizer. The latest and greatest from Boss, gives
guitarists a wide range of classic auto-wah and dynamic wah effects (responsive
to how hard you pick), plus a new "Humanizer" effect, which can
simulate human voce-type vowel sounds. A dedicated Bass input even provides a
variety of funky wah sounds for bass guitar. Tempo can be set for pedal control
or at fixed rate via Manual mode. List price on new is $170 but if you can live
without a box, this one's pretty much mint and just $75(HOLD-Phil 6/5).

8.Boss OD-2 Turbo
Overdrive, mid-80's Made in Japan model in nice shape. Get two pedals in
one with this - classic smooth and natural OD associated with the OD-1 but turn
on the Turbo for bone-crunching high-gain tone. In either position it sounds
great. Velcro on bottom and missing label but at $59, a good value in a quality
Japan model.

9.Boss BF-2 Flanger,
another nice Japan model, one small chip on top scratches on sides, but overall
nice for a used pedal. Original black label and priced at $65(HOLD-10/24).

10.Boss MT-2 Metal Zone,
extremely popular pedal and best metal pedal Boss has ever made. With the
3-band EQ, including sweepable mid you can dial in a
huge variety of tones. Does the scooped mid tone as good as anything ever
made.$55

11.Boss MT-2 Metal Zone,
Boss' most successful metal pedal, eclipsing the long-running HM-2. Key to the
killer metal tone is two semi-parametric EQ bands, where you can select the
exact low and high frequencies and the amount of boost or cut for each. This is
a killer sounding pedal and the best ever made for the masses. Normal player's
wear but sounds perfect and just $45.

12.Boss HM-3 Hyper Metal,
updated version of the HM-2, which for a decade was the top metal pedal on the
market. I'm not sure what the difference is, but for the scooped mids effect,
it's hard to beat this tone. Clean shape in the box, $55.

16.Boss FV-50L, low
impedance stereo volume pedal, sells for $79.99 in the stores but grab this
mint one for just $55

17.Boss FZ-2 Hyper Fuzz,
discontinued in fact the FZ-3 has now been discontinued but this one's the best
of the lot, 3-range switch for Fuzz I/Fuzz II/Gain Boost, stacked bass/treb cut/boost, an incredible sounding fuzz and a mystery
as to why they quit making them, not mint but clean 9 cond,
$SOLD

18.Boss GE-7B Bass EQ,
this thing ain't pretty but it works perfectly and it's less than of a new one,
$35.

23.Boss OS-2
Overdrive/Distortion, choice of Overdrive or Distortion from one pedal.
Good choice for players who do anything from 70's rock and blues to Metal. Nice
shape and just $45.

24.Boss PH-2 Phaser, a
true classic in the Boss line, if you missed one on their long run (now
discontinued), this one is truly in collector's condition, mint with box and
manual, $75

25.Boss PH-2 Phaser, Japan,
best selling Phaser in the Boss line and dropped in favor of the PH-3, Two
modes: Mode 1 for "West Coast Rock" and Mode II for "Funky deep
phasing". I'm not sure what all that means but it's a great sounding
Phaser in beautiful 9.5 condition and at $65, nicely priced for a Japan model.x

26.Boss PH-2 Phaser,
one of Boss' true classics and the favorite of many top players, super clean,
$65

31.Boss SYB-3 Bass

44.Digitech XP-200
Modulator, Highly regarded Digitech XP-series of modeling units with
expression pedal. The XP-200 is the Modulator model which features chorus,
flange, phase, vibrato, tremolo, auto-pan, pan, and rotary speaker. The
settings on the effects can be changed in real time via the pedal Imagine your
rotary speaker changing from slow to fast, just like a Leslie - or panning from
one amp to another via the "pan" setting. The sounds are very good,
it's easy to get around on, and with 61 factory presets and 6 user memory
locations, favorite patches can be recalled quickly and easily, without turning
a knob. This unit is in flawless cosmetic condition and works perfectly. For
all the quality tones it has, plus real time expression, a lot of pedal for
$129. Includes AC adaptor and manual downloadable here.

distortions from the 80's. More control than any other pedal and actually
2-pedals-in-1 with a wide range of tonal selections via
frequency/octave/cut-boost which lets you choose fat mid-boost Rock/Country
sounds to scooped mids Metal. If thereï¿½s not enough control via the panel,
there are internal pots you can tweak to obtain your signature tone. One of my
favorite semi-vintage distortions and not expensive, $49(HOLD-Bill H 3/15)

excellent overdrive pedal from the new "X-Series" of quality guitar
effects, new in box with manual/warranty, $59

shape the sound - By a simple turn of the "Q" dial, you can shape
your wah from a narrow, sharp wah to a broad, subtle wah. The Crybaby 535Q also
offers 6 new guitar wah ranges, a variable boost from 0 to +26 dB, and a hard wire
on/off switch. Its new custom circuitry consumes less power and eliminates
unwanted distortion. Has seen only a few hours of use and still has the plastic

condition with box and stuff. Lists new at $160 but this one's perfect and
un-used condition for just $75.

102.MXR Phase 90
Reissue, one of the most popular of all time and one of the classic Phasers from the 70's- these reissues are very close in
terms of tone, and less noisy. EVH himself used one of the originals, quite
nicely I'll add, in many early Van Halen recordings. One simple knob controls
the rate of sweep from a slow rotary to a fast warble. A little known fact -
these work great on bass, keyboards (think psuedo-Leslie),
and even vocals. Works great sounds great, and just $45(SOLD 5/27).

103.MXR Micro Amp,
Dunlop reissue. As with the original, the Micro Amp adds an amount of gain
which is preset using the single control. Allows you to boost your signal for
lead work or matching output when you're using several guitars such as changing
from a single coil and humbucker equipped models. Some players just like the
extra gain (and there's plenty) that this pedal produces and they leave it on
all the time. $55.

manual, 1/8" cable and 9V power supply, $59

1.ADA MC-1 Controller (click
to enlarge), ADA MP's are definitely back. In guitar, just like fashion,
auto's, or anything else styles are cyclical and after falling out of fashion for
almost a decade, folks are once again scurrying to buy up the ADA products. The
MP-1 was sold but the MC-1, which sold for $250 back in the day, is available
for just $99. Iincludes long connecting cable.

2.Alesis
MEQ230 Dual 1/3-octave precision equalizer, (pic2). One of the
most popular EQ's ever made, especially for home studios and club bands. More
bang for the buck than any other graphic EQ ever made with two 30-band 1/3
octave EQ's in a single rack space, yet costs less than many single-channel
units. This precise EQ is engineered with proprietary Alesis
technology that gives you more features and better audio performance than
anything close to the price range. Features both RCA and 1/4" in/outputs,
signal and peak indicator as well as "in" and "power" LED's
for both channels, channel in/out buttons, and center-detented sliders at +/-
12dB. Manual available
here for download. These cost a couple hundred back in the 90's and are the
best bargain today for a quality, good quality EQ. This one's in beautiful shape
with original power supply - for just $69.

3.ART X-15 Ultrafoot Controller, controls midi functions of your
rackmount effects. Designed for ART units but midi allows compatibility with
any other midi device. Nice shape and includes power supply and quick start
laminated manual. $79.

4.ART SGX 2000 Express,
upgraded version of the very popular SGX 2000 and one of the best guitar
preamps of its era. With 475 factory presets PLUS 200 storage location to
easily edit and save your favorites, you'll have an endless selection of
quality tones at the touch of a button. Famous not only for tone quality but
also for one of the most user friendly interfaces of any device of its type. In
addition to an endless array of distortions, there are an infinite selection of
other effects such as 21 digital reverbs, 12 gated reverbs, acoustic
environment simulator (very cool!), flanger, chorus,
stereo digital delay plus 21 other delay types (like echo and multitap), pitch shift, tremolo, phaser,
panner, sampler and much more. Discontinued in 1999,
there are still plenty of web resources for the unit including a very active
user's group (click
here). Includes original manual but you can download if you want to have a
look (click
here) or for a brief overview, check out ART's
site and click on "Audio Products" - "Discontinued".
This unit retailed at $849 back in '99 and in my opinion is a steal today. When
we went to ship this unit, some of the LED's didn't light up on the power-up
test so it's sold "as is", for $199, still worth it in my opinion.

5.ART X-15 UltraFoot Midi Controller, features dual expression
pedals, works with virtually any Midi sound processor such as the Johnson
J-Station, Line 6 POD, etc. This is a very powerful unit and check ART's site (click
here) for full specs and features. Very powerful unit that does just about
anything you need in a floorboard for $115. Includes power supply and long midi
cable to run from the unit to your backline.

works equally well as you live backline set-up. The rotary knobs have LED's for
easy recognition of your settings. The FCB-1010 is the perfect
companion piece and lets you get the most out of the V-Amp, especially in a
live setting where you don't have time to tweak knobs for your next song. On

staining and lacquer finish, with an extra space available should you want to
include another effect or a one-space power amp. The V-Amp asold
new for $169, not including this very nice rack. Own the one with a great
custom made rack, for just $129.

7.Boss ME-20 Multi-Effect,
(close-up), (side/back). For
the player who wantsa *performance* based multi-effect,
i.e. not designed around a computer interface, the ME-20 is a great sounding
unit with 17 built-in Boss effects. Manual mode or memory mode. In manual mode
it's just like having a row of Boss effects in front of you. Select your
Overdrive/Distortion, time domain effect (flange, chorus, rotary, etc.),
delay/reverb, and volume/wah. If you want to make any changes, you just spin
the knob, just like a stomp box, rather than having to go through multiple
screens to tweak a setting. Each effect has programmable parameters, just like
"knobs" on a stomp box, which can be saved to one of the user memory
spots for instant recall. In memory mode, you can instantly recall any of the
presets installed by Boss (10 banks, with 3 presets per bank = 30), or ones
you've tweaked yourself. To get to the memory mode, just press the center and
right footswitch simultaneous; to get to the tuner, press the center and left
footswitch. For full specs, click
here, for Boss. Also on this page are some great demo videos by Robert
Marcello, who is informative, and a blast to watch. This unit is simple enough
that I was able to get around just fine, but the manual is downloadable here.
Operates on 6 AA batteries or optional external power supply. This unit is
still available from some stores for $199, which is around the price of two
boss pedals. This used one is in excellent condition with original box and for
the fan of Boss effects, an incredible amount of power for $115.

8.Boss ME-30, (pic2), rave review
in the Oct '05 Vintage Guitar magazine of all places, in the "Gigmeister" column as I recall. Highly recommended for
players who want a full selection of Boss pedals, in a handy little floorboard
multi-effect. It's very much like having a Boss pedalboard at your feet, with
the added benefit of remembering your settings on each pedal for quick and easy
recall. You'll barely need it, but original manual is included. A great
selection of analog and vintage effects plus phase trainer, tuner, analog
distortion and a full array of digital effects; expression pedal works wah,
volume, whammy (+/- an octave); a versatile and good sounding unit that's less
than half of what they sold for new at $115. The review stated that it's worth
the price for the whammy effect alone!

9.Boss BE-5 Guitar Multiple
Effects (click to enlarge), Five great Boss pedals built into an
easy-to-use floorboard format. Includes Chorus, Noise Suppressor, Digital
Delay, Overdrive/Distortion, and Compressor. If you run stereo, the chorus
features an impressive stereo dimensional effect while "Color"
control selects Overdrive or Distortion - or any mix in-between. Send/return
jacks allow system expansion using an external effect unit or volume pedal.
Also features tuner out and headphone jack for silent monitoring. If you
already know how to use a stomp box, you know how to use this unit...wonderful
simplicity. $99(HOLD-Greg S) includes power supply.

10.Digitech IPS33 Intelligent
Pitch Shifter. The first "intelligent" pitch shifter, i.e. can
play in a certain key rather than earlier models which were fixed harmonies.
The IPS33 will play in the key and harmonic scale that you select, whereas
older designs were capable of only producing notes that paralleled the root
note. The effect is dramatic, especially on songs like Queen's Bohemian
Rhapsody or rock/metal dual/triple leads like the break-down in "The Boys
are Back In Town." The IPS33 plays 3-part harmony (original plus 2
harmonics). The unit has 59 different preset scales, 4 detune modes, and 16
user presets which can cover virtually any harmonic style needed. 99 patches in
all. This is a good sounding unit and a must for any rock/metal lead player,
especially in a one-guitar band. I don't have original manual but it's
downloadable and/or I can email the file to the buyer. You'll have some serious
fun and some great tones with this unit. $125.

11.Digitech
BP200 Bass Multi-Effect, (detail-effects).
For stage, studio, or practice tool, the BP200 has just about any effect you'll
need to get the sound you want - plus a built-in drum machine for use as a
practice tool. Description: 16 bass amp and stompbox models and a host of other
effects (22 total) for creating your own signature sound. The built-in
expression pedal can be assigned to control your choice of parameters in real
time. Each effect includes up to 3 adjustable parameters giving you the
flexibility to create the exact sound you are looking for. The 6 character
alphanumeric display and 3-knob matrix based user interface provide simple,
straight forward editing functions. The Rhythm Trainer is a great tool for
polishing up your timing with your choice of different patterns, tempo, and
adjustable volume level. A chromatic tuner lets you quickly check or tune your
instrument to 1 of 4 different tuning references. Here's a brief demo that runs
through a few cool patches (link)
and here's
a bunch of Harmony-Central reviews. Sells new for $149 but this one's in
nice shape for just $79.

12.Furman Sound PL-Tuner,
(back).
Rackmount Tuner and high quality Power Conditioner with telescoping lights to
light up your rack PLUS an excellent quality chromatic tuner with two
brightness displays. See all the specs here. Provide
safe power for your expensive rack gear, see what you're doing, and tune your
axe quickly and accurately. Sold new for $199 but this one's in clean shape and
just $99.

14.Johnson J-Station,
(detail -
illuminated front panel). Once upon a time, Johnson and Line 6 (POD) were
battling it out - along the lines of VHS and Betamax
- each with it's own strong spots and weak spots. In
the end, Johnson lost, but I'll hold the J-Station up to a POD any day. Largely
the same selection of effects and amp modeling, but on the J-Station I much
prefer the built-in acoustic simulator and the 12-string simulator. All the
other effects are a toss-up in my opinion - they're both very good. Bottom
line: This is very nice unit that can do it all in the studio or it also is
excellent for stage use - and is very easy to get around on. For the price of a
single stop box, you can have 'em all. This one may have sold but I usually
have them in stock for $99 with power supply.

15.Korg A5 Bass, another
90's old-school, this one for the bassist.This was my
personal unit and used it sparingly in the studio so it's not beat, usual
assortment of effects made for bass specs, easy to edit and store patches, easy
real-time control and made for the bassist who doesn't like to scroll through screens
of menus.Neater than a floorboard full of pedals,
sounds just as good, and cheaper too, $75

16.Korg G3 Guitar Performance
Processor, usual selection of chorus, flange, delay, overdrives, EQ,
reverb, gate, compressor, easy to get around on and fine tune your settings
with a twist of a knob rather than scrolling through menus, very impressive in
stereo mode, this thing sounds GREAT. I've had units at 4X the cost that didn't
have the tone of this one, turned my 5 min. test drive into an hour jam, save
your combinations or use presets and get rid of 5-10 of your stomp boxes, $79
(SOLD-Chris H 4/5)

17.Lexicon LXP-1 and
LXP-5 with Rack, (back) (click to
enlarge pics). Note: LXP-1 is sold; LXP-5 is available. These 1/2 rack units
were a huge success when they came out in the mid-90's. Lexicon, long associated
for the best quality studio reverb was now available at a price the consumer
could afford. Both of these units are noted for their lush, natural-sounding
reverb, Lexicon's signature tone, as well as other time domain effects such as
chorus, delay, multi-tap, etc. For Harmony-Central Reviews click
here for the LXP-1, here
for the LXP-5, where they both scored an impressive 9.1 for sound quality,
but sound quality is what you expect from Lexicon. These sold or $399 back in
the late 90's when they were produced. Manuals are both downloadable here,
but I've been happy sticking with the presets and everything I need . This is
the cleanest LXP I've had in a very long time and a good deal in a studio
quality effect at $139 - include the rack for $15 more. Includes power supply.

18.Line 6 POD XT Live,
(pic2), the
latest and greatest in the POD line with more innovations than any other upgrade
to date. I recommend you tour the POD XT Live page (click here) to get a full rundown on
this amazing unit. It's an uncomplicated, gig-ready tone machine thatï¿½s
portable and adaptable to different real world stage and recording
environments. Can be used as the ultimate multi-effects pedal in front of any
guitar amp, as a complete direct PA solution, or as the world-standard guitar
recording workhorse in the studio. Includes 80 "must have" stomp box
and studio effects models, 36 amp models, 24 cabinet models, and loads more
features. For a bunch of YouTube demo's, click
here. These sell new for $399 but this one's pretty much immaculate for
just $229. Sorry, box fans but no box with this one but it includes original
power supply and manual is on the way.

19.Line 6 POD XT, (pic2), (stock pic). The XT
takes the good old POD 2.0 one step further with more amp models, speaker
models, and effects, plus a backlit screen to make it more user friendly. Many
home studio users have found this unit to be a simple solution to having a huge
arsenal of amps and effects, and even professional studios will, inevitably,
have one of these on hand. The XT isn't just for the studio though - one of the
best live tones I've hard was in a local club where
the guitarists had no backline setup, nothing but a small kidney bean shaped
thing mounted on a mic stand. I talked to him during their first break and
found out their killer tones were coming from nothing more than POD's, running
both through the monitors and the house system. His tone sounded just like
"the CD", with both his amp tone and effects perfectly emulating the
original songs. For full specs click here
for Line 6's site and a good manufacturer's overview view at Todou.co. This
unit's in good shape and includes original box, manual, and power supply. Even
if you've got the original POD or 2.0, the XT is such a major design change
that it's worth picking one up. Or you could opt for the XT Live but it's more
expensive and isn't a small desktop unit. This is an amazing sounding little
thing and priced around what you'll pay for a new digital delay, just $179.
Various POD units available at $135-$149 - just inquire.

20.POD XT PRO, (back), (screen), (box/acc.). Why
pay $700 when this one's like new for $450. The latest and ultimate
processor from Line 6, equally great live or especially in the studio. Line 6's
POD revolutionized sound reproduction in 1998 with the introduction of the
original "kidney bean" POD. The Pro took it to the rack - the XT took
it to USB for PC/Mac computer recording - plus loads more of everything you need.
As a quick overview, the XT Pro features 42 Legendary and Classic Amp Models,
24 Cab & 4 Mic models, 60 Stompbox and Studio Effects, 128 Channel
Memories, Stereo XLR and 1/4-inch analog outs, AES/EBU - S/PDIF - USB Digital
I/O, Programmable Effects Loop Routing Options, Deep Editing, Built-in
Chromatic Tuner, and Full MIDI Support. For full specs and links to video
demo's, click here for Line 6 site or
go to YouTube for dozens of video's using this unit. This unit sells new for
$700 but save $250 on this one - flawless, in original box with all
documentation and cables, for just $450(Hold - Kevin S 1/8). Note: I also have
the Bass XT Pro (pic),
also mint in the box, for $499. For anyone who doesn't need the power of the XT
model, I also have an assortment of kidney bean POD's, Pod Pro's, and Bass Pod
Pro's

21.Line 6 Bass POD,
mint in the box.There's no reason that the guitarists
should have all the fun!The Bass Pod gives you the
tones of current and classic amps like the Ampeg SVT and B-15, the Marshall
Major and Plexi Super Bass, SWR, Versatone and the
Vox AC 10, with 16 Amp Models in all, 16 Cabinet Models, plus 16 digital effect
combinations and A.I.R which simulates the interactions of mics and speaker
cabinets. Effects include distortions, phasers, flanger, envelope follower, octave divider and crossover.
36 programmable channels are included for storage of custom arrangements of
amp/cabs/effects. Unique Dual outputs (modeled and direct) give the Bass POD an
edge in recording, allowing the studio to mix direct bass, modeled bass, and miked bass amps. The effects can be applied or not to the
direct output.With a list price of $519, many of
these sold at $399 when new. I usually have them in stock at $75 to $135,
depending on condition.

22.Rackmount
Power Controller - MBT PC-800. Perfect for lighting controller or just as a
rack power supply with easy access to turn on/off different effects. The PC-800
is an 8-Channel, 19" rack mountable power center with 15A circuit breaker,
lighted rocker on/off switches for each channel, 6' power cord, and eight
3-prong inputs in rear. Clean shape, $25.

23.Rockman Bass Ace
Headphone Amp. With its roots in the 80's Bass Rockman the Bass Ace offers
the same convenience and versatility at around 1/3 the price. Great for
personal practicing - or equally at home routing it directly to a mixer for
recording. Features built-in compression, volume control, auxiliary stereo
input/output, and selectable treble/mid boost. Sells new for $79 but this nice
used one's just $45.

24.Roland SRV-2000 Midi
Digital Reverb, (pic2). A staple
in virtually every pro studio in the 80's, the SRV-2000, Roland's first ever
digital reverb, still sounds great today. Whether used in a guitar rack, live
sound instruments or vocals, or in the studio, it's a very versatile reverb
that's easy to edit, and the sound is superb. Thorough analysis of actual
reverberated sounds in numerous acoustic environments, Roland to determined the
kinds of parameters necessary for a digital reverb to effectively simulate an
acoustic environment and the SRV-2000 features all such parameters which allow
it to simulate all acoustic environments of any shape, any size, and any
building material, from small rooms to big halls, churches, tunnels, etc. These
were too expensive for any regular user to afford back in '85 when it came out
but today they're a great bargain. Works and sounds perfect, other than the
"copy" button not working properly (you won't miss it), and is a
really nice unit for $175.

25.SKB PS-25 Powered
Pedalboard and Case, (pedalboard), (close-up). Uses a
fully integrated 9-volt DC power source for up to six pedals. With simple
Velcro attachment, you can use virtually any size pedal - in any layout you
prefer. The design allows you to power up most every pedal in existence with
just a standard 9V power adapter. Set up is simple and fast - less than a
minute. Simply remove the pedalboard with pedals already attached, plug your
guitar into the top mounted patch bay (with two signal loops) and run direct
into your amp. Padded case has both briefcase type handles or back strap. In
good used condition and offered as a bargain special without power supply or
cables for $69 - or I probably have a power supply and cable kit with standard
Boss type connectors for $99.

26.T.C. Electronics M-One,
fantastic dual-engine processor from the makers of some of the true ultimate
guitar effects. Use the M-One Engines in the Dual Send/Return setup, and get
two independent effects processors. Connect one Auxiliary to the Left Input of
the M-One, and a second to the Right input. The stereo Output of the two
Engines are now mixed internally, and can be returned to a single stereo
effects return on your mixing console, giving you two full blown stereo effects
simultaneously.For full specs check out TC's Site.The sounds are incredible, but the price isn't.While a new one will set you back $399, this one's in
nice shape and just $250(HOLD-Michael 9/19).( Also available is T.C. Electronics G-Minor,
midi controller for the G-Major or M-One above, as new in box, $99 separately
but just $65 with the M-One)

27.TC
Electronic G-Major 2 Guitar Multi-Effects Processor, (front),
(back),
(powered
up), (optional
G-Minor). Both G-Major and G-Minor (optional) are mint condition in the
box. Virtually brand new with but a few hours use, never racked, plastic film
still on front panel. As TCE says, "made by guitarists for
guitarists." This multi-effects processor sounds magical and is an
incredibly powerful unit, a single rack space, plus it's very affordable,
especially by TC Electronic standards. You get studio-quality sounds combined
with stompbox simplicity in a unit that's geared for demanding and diverse
performances. Not another modeling processor, but pure undiluted TC Electronic
effects in a league of their own. The G-Major 2 offers easy integration with
your current setup and pain-free on-the-fly editing - or use a MIDI interface
for more dedicated patch programming using the included PC/Mac editor. G-Major
2 processor houses all the classic TC Electronic effects that made the original
G-Major a favorite among passionate hobby musicians and pros alike. It adds a
wide range of guitar effects and features based on feedback and requests from
dedicated users of the G-Major platform. From the delays, reverbs and
modulation effects that helped define the industry and new daring sounds such
as Tri-Chorus, Through-Zero langer, modulated delays,
and Univibe, everything is done with impeccable TC
Electronic quality. There are a number of good demo's online, here's one on YouTube. Click here for full specs
at TC's site. At $499, this unit is a deal by T.C.E. prices, but this one's
"as new" in the box with everything, and just $350.Add the G-Minor
for just $75.

28.T. C. Electronics
M3000, (panel),
(back). As
new, immaculate condition. Some high end gear here, used in the A room of
many studios but priced within reach of the serious home recording engineer.
The M3000 offers a mammoth selection of 250 single and 50 combined presets,
including many of the favorites from TC's previous units. If that's not enough,
you can get an internal RAM bank for up to 250 single and 50 combined
user-memories, plus you can store the same number again onto a standard PCMCIA
card. New algorithms offered are the VSS Reverb and Gate, along with TC's CORE
(Coefficient Optimized Room Emulation) Reverb, Reverb 3, Delay, Pitch, EQ,
Expander, Compressor, Chorus/Flanger, Tremolo/Panner,
Phase and De-Esser. Like the M2000, the M3000
features two separate processors which you can use in serial, parallel,
dual-input, dual-mono, linked and pre-glide modes. The M3000 also features
24-bit resolution A-D and D-A converters, along with 16- and 20-bit dithering
for output to devices working at these lower resolutions. Rather than write a
full page of info, for full specs go to TCE's site here. I know most
of my customers are guitarists and rest assured this is one of the finest units
you can have in your rack. Guitar great John Petrucci
uses 3 of these in his stage rig (interview). These sell
everywhere for $1599 but this one's "as new" and a more friendly
$1099. (Note: I also have a few G-Majors and the Triple-C compressor in stock).

29.T.C. Electronics
Triple-C, (click lower right corner of pic to enlarge), (picture 2). For the
true connoisseur of quality rack effects, this has got to be the ultimate in
compression. Multi-band compression mode of Triple C basically splits the
incoming signal into three frequency bands, allowing independent compression to
take place in each of the three user defined frequency areas. Compression is
only applied to the necessary frequency areas, providing a far more intelligent
way of working with the given source material. Using Triple C's Multi-band mode
avoids a number of traditional artifacts of compression i.e. that peaks at
certain frequencies incorrectly controlling the compression of the entire
signal. For example when compressing vocals using traditional Full-band
compression, high frequencies tend to be reduced due to the fact that vocals
generally consist of mid frequencies. So the mid frequencies will determine the
compression level of the overall signal. Using Triple C's Multi-band
compression will allow independent compression in all three bands, and
consequently preserve the high frequencies. There are too many features and
benefits to explain here - for full specs click here for T.C.'s Site,
links in the left column. Highly regarded and high demand effect since it was
recently discontinued. This one is in perfect shape in the box with all
paperwork and perhaps the ultimate compressor for just $399.

31.Vox Tonelab, (stock pic). Not
just a powerful desktop modeling processor or just another Valvetronix
product - the Tonelab has features not found in the Valvetronix amp series, like separate speaker cab modeling
that produces an uncanny spacial sense even when
using the line out - plus MIDI I/O for transferring programs and editing and
features a S/PDIF jack for direct-to-digital interfacing. Briefly, specs
include: VOX Valve Reactor (using a 12AX7/ECC83 dual triode as a power amp
tube) circuit delivers the sound and feel of actual tube power amps, 16 amp
models ranging from vintage classics to modern "boutique" standards,
10 cabinet models add even more variety and authenticity, 22 modeled effects
with quality that rivals stand-alone units, Heavy-duty construction, Familiar
knob-based interface for ease of use, 96 programs, Headphone output, Optical
digital out (S/P DIF) for digital recording (Tonelab
Only), Dedicated editor software for even more detailed editing, MIDI I/O,
Optional Valvetronix series foot controller for even
more performance possibilities, Backlit LCD with easily viewed LED-like
display. Like most of these all-in-one units, there's too much to list here but
for full specs click
here for Vox's Site. These were a $600 list when discontinued a year or so
ago but this one is "as new" with not a hint of use and ships in
original box with power supply and manual. Great sounding unit for the studio
or even live sound and, best of all, knobs...glorious knobs...for players who
like to look down and do a tweak with a twist of a knob rather than scroll to
another screen. All this for just $199(Hold ~ Ken L 2/24).

32.Yamaha D1500
Rackmount Delay (pic2) (click
lower right to expand both pics). The rack is back and you need a good digital
delay to go in there. Years ago, these Yamaha D1500's were one of the best.
Features 1024ms of delay, 8 user-defined presets, 5-position low pass filter,
CV input for modulation, MIDI program change, XLR and 1/4" input/output
with +4db and -20db output.Back in the day this unit,
along with Yamaha's SPX-90, defined the studio and stage sound of countless
artists, and the D1500 actually had better specs than the SPX. Expensive back
in the day but in 2006, this clean one's just $139.

34.Zoom 9000 with Zoom
FC01 floorboard, cool little guitar effects processor with usual assortment
of distortions, chorus, reverb, pitch shifter, flange, tuner, bypass, etc.,
easy to get around on, works on AA batteries or 9V adapter, nice sounding
presets and easy to save your own patches, footswitch has 20 ft. cord and has
ledï¿½s which are easy to see on dark stage, expensive back in the day but this
cool set-up is yours for just $99(HOLD-Richard F 11/27)

35.Zoom GM-200 Amp Modeler,
faithfully emulates the sound of 11 legendary guitar amplifiers for recording and
live applications, Vintage chorus, tremolo, tape echo, and spring reverb
effects--all controlled by a single knob, noise reduction, gain and master
volume controls just like a regular amp, 3-band eq,
Mix-in for adding external sources, choice of RCA or 1/4" outputs for
plugging into your recorder, board, or amp, new list is $259 but you can try
this one out for just $99
